SAU KART KARNTS Official Times and Placings.

[inark]

Well for those that dont know we had a Go Kart night for the SAU VIC Members tonight at Go Kart Sports in Moorabbin for a bit of a fun activity.

I apparently organised it (i pretty much just said "hey lets have a kart night, here it is..." and eventually posted a date and time 2 nights before hand (yeah im organised alright).

Up for grabs was a 700ml bottle of Jim Beam and a small flask of Johnny Walker for the slowest time... which ended up being 1st place gets the big bottle and fastest time got the small bottle because on the race laps my Kart crapped itself and i ended up posting 3 times the time everyone else did so it was a bit unfair. (or planned???? )

Ok so here are the results.

Qualifying::::

1st - Scott with a fastest time of 35.829

2nd - Chris with a fastest time of 35.953

3rd - Michael with a fastest time of 36.409

4th - Aaron with a fastest time of 36.967

5th - Me with a fastest time of 37.055

6th - Snowie with a fastest time of 37.100

7th - Jarrod with a fastest time of 37.737

8th - Adam with a fastest time of 37.765

9th - Davor with a fastest time of 38.400

10th - Zulkarnain with a fastest time of 40.057

11th - David with a fastest time of 40.107

12th - Darren with a fastest time of 40.297

13th - Alan with a fastest time of 40.441

Was some very heated battles going on around the track and a few "friendly" nudges to get people to hurry up and get out the way... some i was a victim to

Results for the actual race:::::

1st Place - Scott (i think next time non skyline owners arent allowed a prize )

2nd Place - Michael

3rd Place - Adam

4th Place - Aaron

5th Place - Jarrod

6th Place - Davor

7th Place - Chris (setting the fastest lap of 34.857)

8th Place - Snowie

9th Place - Alan

10th Place - David

11th Place - Zulkarnain

12th Place - Darren

LAST but not least - myself.. setting the all time slowest lap of 92.10

The race session saw the times from qualifying drop down dramatically (apart from mine) which made for a great race... had a great time and nice to meet some of the newer members to the club as this was the first SAU thing i have been to in about 5 months

Hope everyone had as good a time i did and thanks for everyone that came and made it a great event.

Look forward to the next one.

great job mate , didnt expect the results were posted up so fast ! u did good in the qualifying round and dropped during the race, what happenned?

Well done for the organising and thanks for an awesome evening of racing.

In my defence for qualifying I would like to add, my kart was dying and spluttering before they pulled me in for a change over, near the end of the session.

Was happy to see some of my GT4 practice paid off in the race by clawing a few places back.

Well done to Chris for setting fastest lap and Scott for winning.

Look forward to the next one.

I am sure one of my qualifying laps was slower than your slowest race lap mate! :Oops:

[ferni]

damn i missed out, at least we won our semi-final in indoor soccer tho !

[pontiff]

As they say.

"rubbin is racin.. harry"

I'm still tasting exhaust fumes

[Snowman]

Yeah all I could smell for hours afterwards was petrol!

Was a whole lot of fun. Even getting taken out at the begining was ok - all part of karting. Got to have some fun with Chris after he tasted water barrier as well.

Congrats to Scott for the win - not bad for a TX5 driver. Look forwards to the next one.

The Kart crapped itself... even off the line it was taking a while to get speed... then after about the 5th lap it just started coughing a spluttering so i had to pull over and then pit it in... still set my fastest lap for the night with it with a 36.xxx (at work now so dont have the sheet) so i was happy with that.

oh yeah pontif i think that was u i slammed into the back of on the last lap of qualifying... they didnt put the yellow light on and i was coming around the first corner full throttle and there was like 5m to brake haha bit of wiplash

yeah was great fun... will definately have to do it again soon.

my nose was still sore when i woke up this morning from all the fumes

[Frunknmont]

That was a top night can't wait to do it again. 3rd place was an unexpected bonus for me. Was also good to talk to a few more members and put some faces to name. Cheers to the organizer and everyone that came along

I think you had my kart from qualifying as it spent serveral laps dying and when you accelerated it spluttered. They switched my kart but just told me to park it up back in the row so no doubt someone (maybe you) got it for the race.

[inark]

yeah more than likely... was number 12 with the yellow plastic bits on it... did exactly that... coughed and spluttered when i put my foot into it.

[Frunknmont]

Anybody else got sore arms and shoulders today?

[saff_cossie]

I have some red marks on my hip from being battered around in the seat and my very poor drifiting style!

inark - cannot remember the number of the kart but know the one they put me back in was 17 for the qualifying.

[ferni]

Dammit, i vote next one to be on a Thursday

Hahaha .. its all good mate ... watch out next time though

We need to plan round 2 of the SAUVGKC (Skylines Australia Victoria Go-Kart Championship) now.

Outdoor track I am thinking as the moorabbin one was a touch too tight for our "I wonder if 3 karts can fit around here at the same time" moves :jump:

[inark]

haha sounds like a good plan Aaron!

Munkeh - make up a SAU Kart Karnts banner... I DEMAND IT!!!

yeah adam my arms are sore as %*^*... every time i yawn and stretch i almost fall off my chair in pain

[ferni]
